Additional Qualifier Tournament For CRC

The CRC is adding another way of getting into next year's tournament. The Heart of America Classic will be a 24 team tournament held in Kansas City from March 25-26th. The tournament is built off the success of the CRC qualifier bracket at the Las Vegas Invitational. While the qualifier has had it's ups and downs in terms of depth of participants at the very top of the tournament has always featured some of the top teams in college rugby. Some of the teams to make the CRC via the LVI qualifier includes Central Washington, Life, Arkansas State, and Utah. The Utes won in very dramatic fashion last year.

The idea of having a second qualifier is to give teams a second tournament to qualify from if they don't want to head to Vegas. The tournament already has automatic qualifiers from the ACRL and SCRC.
